FM9 Extractor

[taxil343]

Anyone had to replace an extractor on a Foxtrot Mike bolt? Is it just a standard AR-15 extractor? I was cleaning the wife’s PCC this weekend and noticed the extractor is gone. No extractor or spring, only the roll pin remains.

She had a feeding problem, first stoppage in over 5k, on the second to last stage of our last match, ditched the start mag (ETS 30 rounder with MBX mini extension) and gun ran fine. The last stage was a short course so no need to use the 47 round mag, gun ran fine. I assumed it was a mag issue so I disassembled it when we got home and found the follower almost broken in two.

 

Now that I have discovered that the extractor is gone, I’m thinking that may have played a part in the malfunction. Can these things run with no extractor?

Yes, they can run with out an extractor........two things WILL happen!!

1) you will NOT be able to pull an unfired round out of the chamber

2) ejection will be erratic and you'll probably get stove pipes and other nasty malfunctions......it may fire off a few rounds or even more, but it will jam up at some point do to no extractor.
